HAIRCAMP operates an online learning service for the beauty industry that launched in 2016, emphasizing a live-seminar feel so users can learn as if seated at the front of an event. The platform has grown to more than 70,000 members, hosts over 1,900 pieces of educational content, and has accumulated over 1 million hours of member learning time. HAIRCAMP reports adoption by more than one in ten hairdressers, deployment at over 1,500 salons, and use in 37 beauty schools to train students before debut. The company aims to build an education infrastructure that raises quality of life for people in the beauty industry and to broaden the definition of “learning.” Going forward it plans to incorporate blockchain and AI technologies to enhance data analysis, personalized learning paths, and industry-wide knowledge sharing. HAIRCAMP is incorporated in Tokyo (founded June 2013) and intends to remain an independent, industry-neutral operator while partnering with aligned companies. HAIRCAMP operates an online learning service and community centered on live-streamed video education and an online salon for professional hairdressers. The platform was launched in 2017 to convert in-person seminars into online live classes with rewind playback, reducing time, location and capacity constraints and improving visibility for attendees. In addition to live interactive sessions, HAIRCAMP runs an exchange-oriented online salon that provides opportunities for both information input and output. The service has grown to be used by roughly one in ten hairdressers. HAIRCAMP focuses on accelerating technical mastery and career progression for stylists while exploring beauty-industry×IT synergies. The company is headquartered in Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and was founded in June 2013.
